Prosecutors target ‘money for commutation’

Prosecutors have launched a campaign targeting convicts with money or power that are seeking commutation, parole or non-prison sentences illegally.

More than 88,800 criminals who were illegally released on probation, served their sentence outside of prison or have had jail terms commuted improperly between 2010 and August this year, according to a report submitted by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate to the top legislature.

Those involved often use connections and personal influence to bribe prison and justice officials in order to claim commutations and evade imprisonment, it said.
